Framing for our friends at Creativity Explored
We framed this huge portrait in a whitewash maple frame for our good friends at @creativityexplored right here in San Francisco. They are an art collective partnering with developmentally disabled artists to celebrate and nurture the creative potential and we couldn’t love them more. You HAVE to check them out! We’ve been honored to frame […]
The Amazing Art of KAWS
Sometimes you’re sad just Kaws. We found the perfect grey tone custom picture frame for this rad limited edition @kaws art print. The mat has a subtle texture that contrasts the smooth paper and draws your eye to the texture in the image. With our huge selection of wall frames we know we have the […]
SF Midcentury Art Framed Contemporary Style
We used an ebonized walnut frame to keep with the black on black look but pull on the warmth in this Rex Ray artist proof print. Rex Ray was a SF based graphic designer and collage artist with a strong midcentury style. He graduated from SFAI ( San Francisco Art Institute ) and his work […]
Framing art prints for a “clean” look
We loved designing and framing these two prints here in our San Francisco Frame shops. The artists both chose to print on beautiful art paper with an interesting edge that we definitely wanted to show. So we hinged the papers to a mat that lifted the art up and kept the rest of the frame […]
San Francisco For The Weekend
Yes, we were able to frame again two San Francisco themed art works! And just as different as these pieces are we also came up with two very different custom picture framing designs. This 60”x43” photo of a container ship entering the Bay is SO striking. We used a hand wrapped fabric mat to match […]
Another week of amazing custom frame projects in San Francisco!

If you’ve […]

Underglass Custom Picture Framing has been a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community from when it first opened its doors in 1982. In fact it is still owned by gay partners Matthias […]
Weekend Movement with Original Keith Haring Art Framed
We are big Keith Haring fans here at Underglass Custom Picture Framing! Thanks to our client who collects the drawings we are happy to share them with you. We used a washy purple frame to play on the multiple purple tones and movement in these original Keith Haring paintings!
Framing and Floating Art on Mats
We always try to work with the whole piece of art and that includes the actual paper or medium. For the colorful flower vase painting from @creativegrowth the frame appears to be just a clean gallery cap, but when you see it at an angle you see that beautiful warm wood tone on the side […]
Elegant hand wrapped mats and hand carved gold leaf frame
Donna Schuster was an award winning watercolor artist born in 1883. She moved to California in 1913 and this painting is from that era. We used two hand wrapped fabric mats and a hand carved gold leaf frame to pull on the tone and keep with the period. We also love how this custom frame […]
